::I can finally understand what R6 says now::
I'm going to meditate until we get there R6.
*Beeps*
[I'll alert you when we arrive]
Thanks R6.
*Begins meditating*

[Tol Dorin]

*Squeals*
*Wakes up*
Huh...what?
*Looks at the text scrolling across one of the panels*
[We're coming out of Hyperspace]

[Tol Dorin]

*Sees the droid fleet in orbit*
Oh...great.
::When did this happen?::
*Doesn't notice his comm is beeping*
*Beeps*
[Master Kelvron is contacting.]
*Activates the comm*
Tol, I just received a message from Coruscant. A droid army has invaded the city. Prepare to jump to hyperspace.
But what about Mon Calamari?
It's going to have to wait. I'm sending you the coordinates now.
*Speaks to himself*
We can't just abandon them...
*Beeps*
[We must, if the renegade droids take Coruscant, it could mean the end of the Republic.]
It could. Doesn't mean it will. We fought them off once we can do it again.
Tol! I sent you the coordinates. Come on!
*Scowls behind his mask*
Yes master.
*Jumps into Hyperspace*

[Tol Dorin]

*Comes out of Hyperspace*
*Sees the battle between the Droid and Republic fleets*
::Oh no...There's more of them this time::
*His voice is grim*
Tol, follow me. It's going to be a rough ride down to the surface.
Yes, Master.
You hear that R6, you'd better strap yourself in.*Whistles*
[What do you mean?]
*His voice is quiet*
It was an expression.

[Tol Dorin]

*Disengages his Hyperspace ring and heads towards the battle*
*Does the same*
*Absent-mindedly tightens his flight harness*

***************
*A few minutes later*
::We're almost in range::
*Several droid starfighter target them and head for them*
*Targets one of them*
*Flies within range*
*Opens fire on them*
*Veers to the left to avoid the fire*
*Blasts laser and ion cannons at the one he targeted*
*The blasts go wide*
*Two fighters fire at the Aquara*
*Dodges to the right*
*The fighters fly past them & loop around and chase after them*
::Not good::

[Tol Dorin]

*Dives low to avoid the steady stream of laser fire from the fighters*
*Swerves right and left*
::All my maneuvering is slowing me down::
*Tol and Kelvron dive into the battle*
*Spins and dives between two Republic cruisers*
*Follows him*
*The cruisers blast at the fighters begind them*
*Break formation and seperate distracting the gunners*
*The gunners target several of the ones that broke off*
*3 fighters still follow them*
Tol, break off and meet up with me below the Lead Republic cruiser.
All right master.
*Pulls up into a steep climb*
*Two fighters chase after Tol*
*Glances at the rear sensors*
::There's still two of them after me::
*Swerves to avoid the battered hulk of a burning Droid landing craft*
*Spots a droid transport heading down to the planet*
::Maybe I can take that down::
*Beeps as laser bolts fly past him*
[What are you doing?]
I'm going to take down that transport if I can. Don't worry we're still going to meet up with Master Kelvron.
*Whistles worriedly*

::I'm in range::
*Squeezes the triggers*
*Laser bolts fly out at the transport*
::It's not penetrating the shields::
*Continues to fire*
*The transports shields drop and the laser bolts knock out its engines sending it spining off into space*
*Two laser bolts hit the Aquara's hull*
*Lets out a shriek*
::Arrghhh::
*Dives behind a cruiser for cover*
*Beeps*
What R6?
*Glances at the the instrument panel*
[It's a Droid cruiser.]
*The cruiser fires at them*
Blast!
*Turns hard to the right*
*Fires at them*
*Swerves back to the cruiser's side*
::This side's safer::
*Flies past the cruiser*
::Uh-oh::
*Dives towards him*
*Tries to manuever but they stay with him*
::I should've gone straight to the ship::
*Beeps*
[We're right above the ship Master Kelvron told us to meet him at.]
::Yessss::
*Flies so close to the ship he nearly scrapes against the hull*
*Comes out below the ship*
::Where are you Master::
*The two fighters get blasted from behind*
*Lets out a breath*
Alright Tol, you're clear. Now see if you can take some of these fighters off mine.
Thanks, master.

[Tol Dorin]

*Blasts at Kelvron*
*Gets hit*
Tol, I'm hit but not bad.
Ok, How about when we pass the next ship, I fly up and you head down. It'll have to go after one of us, and the other will slow down, come out behind it, and blast it.
*Hesitates*
Alright, We'll try it. I'll head down.
*Reaches the side of the cruiser and flies up*
*Flies down*
*Chases Tol*
*Sighs*
These guys always chase after me.
*Whistles*
*Blasts at The Aquara*
Sorry R6 don't have time.
*Throws full power to rear deflectors*
*passes the cruisers*
*Chases after him firing full lasers.
*Blasts him*
Ok, Tol you're clear, let's head down to the surface.
What....
*Sees they've passed most of the fleet battle already*
Here we go R6.
*Whistles*
[The toughest part is yet to come.]
Yeah....I know.
*Dives into the atmosphere following Kelvron*
